20.04.2026 08:10 As Iran conditionally reopens the strategic Strait of Hormuz following a decisive diplomatic and military victory, Tehran has issued a warning to the United States that any failure to honor its commitments will be met with severe consequences.

20.04.2026 08:10 Commander of Iran's highest operational command unit says the country's enemies and ill-wishers, particularly the United States and the Israeli regime, have no option but to yield to the greatness and strength of the Iranian Armed Forces and resilient nation.

But these are just the latest in a long train of such violations. And given the rise of "might makes right" foreign policies, they might not be the last.
